Huawei, a global information and communications technology solution provider, has formed a new partnership with Software AG, a data center middleware vendor, to support the increasing demand of companies for Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. Huawei’s Open IoT Platform and Network Infrastructure capabilities are being combined with Software AG’s streaming analytics, hybrid enterprise integration and predictive analytics.

The partnership will deliver hardware and software needed to provide a cloud-based IoT platform and streaming analytic capabilities at the edge of the IoT, said Eric Duffaut, chief customer officer for Software AG. “Huawei’s Cloud and IoT platforms, combined with the software based intelligence and integration capabilities of Software AG’s Digital Business Platform, will allow any enterprise to harness the IoT and develop global, innovative digital product or services.”

The partnership between Huawei and Software AG will have an initial focus on Europe. In the spirit of a modern partner ecosystem both companies are keen in broadening and completing the offerings via additional partners who can add specific industry, integration and technology expertise.
